`livreRoveivnaNT inl RoTARAYdt-:Nemea le it known:thatL'SAMnnL Grinsen, of Lauxcaster, in the county of Lancaster, andi-in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain fnew andusei'ul Improvements in Centrifugal `Rotary Engines; and I do hereby declare that.

the following is a full, clear, and vexact description thereof, reference beinghad to the accom` `panying drawings, and tothe letters ct reference marked` thereon, making a part Ofthis specification.

Thenatnre ol my invention consists in the construction and arrangement oi" a centrifugal.

`rotary engine, as will be hereinafter fully set forth'. y g v In order tol enable others skilled in the art to which rn y invention appertains to make and use the same, I will nowproceed to describe itsconstrnction and operation, referring to the wheel in which the steam operates to produce A represents a stema-boiler of any suitable construction ,from which thesteamis conducted .thronghthe pipe Bi into asma-ll hollow cylinder, C. The outer end ol' this cylinder is inserted intot'he casing D, which i'ornis the cen` ter casing, issecu-redona shaft, G, which has onejbearing in the center of the end of the/cylstructed asshown in, Fig. 2, the space or disarranged that when oneis between two of the bucketsv the other is against one of the bucky ets, or, in other words, the' steam is allowedto escape through one while it is cnt off from the other tube. The steam falls to the center of the casing D, and may pass ont around the steam chest or cylinder G into a hollow collar or box, e, on the same, from whence it is carried oit' by a pipe, t.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire 'to secure by Letters Patent, is l l The combination oil' the wheel `E,With its casing D, and buckets a a., stationary steamtnbes b b andbeads d d, all constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purposes herein Vset forth.

In testimony that l claim the foregoing I have hereunto set .my hand this 15th day of August, 1370.
